Hafner Florist Sylvania Offers Comfort and Exceptional Wedding Flowers

Hafner Florist offers a comfortable, intimate store producing uniquely exceptional bridal flowers in Sylvania, Ohio.  Though established on Harroun Road in May 1992, Hafner Florist relocated to S. Main Street in 2007.  The showroom at the Sylvania store features a charming wedding room situated in a quiet corner for privacy during wedding consultations.  Sunshine warms the showroom through the large glass plate windows, creating a welcoming and stimulating atmosphere for the floral designers, customers, and plants alike!  The cheerful sales staff and designers are often in the showroom caring for the plants and tidying the shelves to maintain an enjoyable shopping atmosphere.  Also spotted bustling about the store is Dan Hafner, who devotedly manages the Sylvania location.  Although Beth Hafner has managed the Holland store since 2000, the Hafners have perfected a balance of professionalism, creative happiness, and kindheartedness that is consistent across both stores. 

This balance has not only ensured their success as a quality wedding florist in Toledo and surrounding areas, but it has also improved the florist’s relationships with floral growers and wholesalers.  When given requests for flowers for upcoming weddings, Dan searches many different vendors for the perfect product.  Hafner Florist’s longstanding relationships with a variety of vendors help Dan to choose growers and wholesalers with the highest levels of quality and reliability.  As this is frequently the most important and crucial step in the wedding flower process, Dan keeps the bride’s trust in mind and actively pursues the best-fitting flowers.       

While the Sylvania location is slightly smaller than the store in Holland, Hafner Florist in Sylvania offers a unique walk-in cooler which allows for a colorful, accessible presentation of the florist’s quality floral product.  The walk-in cooler is not only beneficial for customers, but also Kelli Baker, the wedding consultant at the Sylvania store, while she creates the perfect complimentary bridal look.  This interactive display of bridal flowers also allows brides to get a feel for different floral styles and colors during their wedding consultations.  Indeed, hands-on selection is not something every florist offers.  Seeing and smelling quality flowers helps brides feel assured that their wedding flower design is in the best hands.

However, “extremely selective” does not mean Hafner Florist offers a thin selection of wedding flowers!  Hafner Florist carries a wide array of traditional and exotic flowers in store, alternating certain flowers with the growing seasons.  Because of the florist’s established relationships with various suppliers, wedding designers are able to seek out brides’ specific tastes – often even for seasonal wedding flowers! For example, sweet pea, ranunculus and tulips are offered in the springtime; and for the autumn season, bittersweet berries, sunflowers and dahlias may be selected. There are also many options to choose from, such as popular flowers like gerber daisies to exotic flowers like birds of paradise. Hafner Florist offers quality wedding flowers for all tastes. 

Indeed, beautiful flowers generate feelings of love, but many flowers represent distinctly unique meanings.  With many of the staff averaging over twenty-five years in floral design experience, the designers at Hafner Florist are fluent in the secret floral language.  Brides seeking to bring good luck to their new marriage might choose green bells of Ireland to accent their lavender roses, which represent love at first sight.  For brides looking to convey certain feelings or messages through their wedding flowers, Hafner Florist offers a broad selection of quality wedding flowers – each with their own unique meaning.             

The designers at Hafner Florist know that wedding floral items are not an inexpensive investment.  That is why the wedding consultants strive to establish a firm bond of trust with each bride through a complimentary consultation, extensive discussion, and example.  In the consultation and following appointments, the wedding designer provides a multisensory overview of the bride’s wedding flowers.  The wedding consultants not only discuss color and floral options, but also show brides fresh flowers and accents in addition to a photo album of previous bride’s wedding flowers.  When a bride has booked with Hafner Florist, the wedding designer will create a centerpiece sample for the bride to see.  From bouquets to centerpieces, Hafner Florist offers an extensive assortment of high-quality flowers and is eager to create the best flowers for weddings in Toledo and surrounding areas.
